Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
마호가니에 가까운 짙은 호박빛이 잔 안쪽에 깊게 깃들어 있다. 옥타브 캐스크의 응축이 또렷이 느껴지는 부나하벤 1989, 24년이라는 시간이 셰리의 풍요를 단단히 다듬은 모습으로, 코끝에 닿는 첫 향은 건자두와 다크 초콜릿, 호두 껍질이 함께 떠오른다. 한 모금 머금으면 무화과 잼과 가죽, 정향이 입천장을 천천히 덮고, 50.6도의 알코올이 단맛을 받쳐 든다. 잔향은 마른 견과와 옅은 송진으로 길게 머문다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
gold
air Nose
it’s an interesting one, with notes of rhum agricole at first nosing, as well as whiffs of sunflower oil and even engine oil. Or castor oil? There’s also more earth than in the others, something very faintly acetic (which is all right) and then lots of roasted nuts, old walnuts, shoe polish, ink, new papers… With water: lovely and perfect. Mushrooms, humus, moss, barley, almonds, wax
restaurant Palate
unusual and excellent, I think. There is some peat, just as in the 1988 by Douglas Laing that we had yesterday. Both malts are actually pretty similar, which is great news to this one. Lime, lemongrass and all that. Great grassiness. With water: indeed. Superb citrusy profile with a peaty backbone
timer Finish
long, same, clean, fresh, citrusy, salty
